a little holiday ranting...

Post by Brett »

Boxing Day is a Canadian and British holiday where people start lining up at Future Shop around 4:00AM so they can buy DVD's for half price. In June we also celebrate Half-Way to Boxing Day, same crazy shit just a little less rain pelting you while you wait in the pre dawn line-ups.

I got a playstation2 for Christmas too...I like to be a kid at heaRT. and you're right, those games are impossible. I have the book for mine (star wars Bounty Hunter) and it's still hard even when they tell you exactly where to go! Who says teenagers today aren't smart...I bet any one of 'em is better at that game than me.

The crackers box mystery is solved. You'll recall the message found on a box of crackers was "KNOCKOUT FOR BLEED". Well, here's the official word:

"The phrase isn't a message but is a printers direction in printers jargon. 'Bleed' refers to how much the printer should allow one color to migrate into an adjacent color (usually only a few pixels). This direction is usually cropped off or covered by the gluing when the boxes are printed and folded."

Granted, they used the U.S. spelling of "color" of course. I would have spelled it differently.

Damn.
Holidays and families.
Funny how it all works.
It took me 25 years to be able to talk to my dad and have him listen. And another three to make it clear that he needs to quit being ashamed of my life, because I'm not.
I laid it out for him tonight. No amount of school, no better people, nothing would make me look at what I have and be sorry for it.
Sure, it can be hard. But it's good. There's hard parts in every type of life that can be lived. So what if I didn't finish college? So what if I had a child younger than it was expected?
Boo fucking hoo. I'm not going to sit around thinking about what if because it does not exist.
I don't feel wrong for making those choices.
I very much enjoy the little things that make the days go from one to the next. Even when I bitch, I know there are a hundred things I don't bitch about.
He told me tonight that if I'd gone to college and had not been a single mom so young, I'd probably be happily married to some young yuppie.
Fwooo...
Doing what I have done has softened me in some ways and hardened me in others.
But I wouldn't take it back for a second.
Sorry, pops.

Hey. I just saw Maverick driving down the hill driving Mc's little car. Hi Maverick! No, I didn't beep. That was the other driver you pissed off...
I'm excited because tomorrow night I get to go out and act like a dipshit and then crawl to work the next morning!!!!
